WILLIAM BOEKEL, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

GAS-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 358,332, dated February22, 1887.

-Applieation tiled June 13, i885. Serial No. 1C8.578. (No model.) I

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM BoEKEL, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Penn- 5Sylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Burners,which improvement is fully set forth in the following speciiication andaccompanying drawings, in which- 1o Figure l represents a verticalsection of a gas-burner embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents ahorizontal section iu lineww, Fig. l. Fig. 3 represents a horizontalsection in line y y, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding lparts in theseveral gures.

My Vinvention relates to improvements in gas-burners; and it consists inthe various detailsin construction and arrangement ofparts,

2o as hereinafter set forth.

Referring to the drawings, A represents a 'gas-pipe which is connectedwith .a supplyservice pipe in any suitable manner. To the bottom of saidpipe is secured a chamber, B,

from which rises a circular row of burners, C, said chamber being alsosustained by a rod or pipe, C', which is connected with the chamber,passes through the pipe A, and is attached' at top to a plug orcoupling. D.

3o Surrounding the burners C isa chimney, E, and above the same is aiiue, F, for the escape of the products of combustion. Surrounding` theiiue F is a flue, G, for the admission of air to the burners, it beingnoticed that the flue F is suitably secured to the top cap, H, and theilue G to a chamber, J, below said cap. Attached to said chamber J, andin communication therewith, are tubes K, which reach to a chamber, L,the lattersurroundng the burn- 40 ers C and sustaining the chimney E,and

adapted to convey air to said burners.

Within the space between the burners C and chambers J is a deflector, M,which is an annulus of V shape in cross-section, adapted to direct airbetween the burners and within the same and also outside thereof,whereby theA iiame is supplied with air both on its interior andexterior.

It will be seen that when the burner is lighted the products ofcombustion escape through the fine F. This also heats the pipe A, sothat the gas is conveyed to the burners in a warm or heated condition.Again, the air ascending, the iiue G is heated by the hot ue F, and sodirected, by means of the pipes K and chamber L, to the burner in awarmor heated condition, so that a brilliant light is produced.

A portion of the pipe A just above the burners is widened, as at A', andformed of 60 material that may become incandescent and act as areflector, and likewise produce an enlarged chamber for heating the gasas it descends in its passage to the burners.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

l. vThe gas-pipe A, with burners C, in conlbination with air'- chamberL, surrounding said burners and having deiiectors M, chim- 7o ney E,supported by said chamber L and having flueF, iiue G, surrounding saidiiue F and open at bottom and leading into the air-chamber J, and tubesK, connecting airchambers J and L, substantiallyas and for the 7 5purpose set forth.

2. A circular row of burners and a surrounding air-chamber, incombination with a double-acting deflector, substantially as described.
